Not directly related but upthread a bizarre connection has been made between views on tropical cyclone avoidance and sexual assault.
I’ve not posted on this thread but I have posted elsewhere my views on maintaining order and discipline aboard ship.
That said - anyone who does not find the story in that letter distressing has to be some kind of sociopath.
Rape by itself is a vile and despicable act. Aboard a U.S flag ship It’s also a federal crime. I hope that the investigation is swift and the full facts emerge.
When I read the companies harassment policy to a joining crew I also add a little more of my own to drive the point home to have the crew think about how they would want their own mother, wife or daughter treated. In this case I don’t even want to think about my own daughter aboard a ship as described in that letter.
